- Page 2 Operation The RLS-2 is in effect a SPDT (Single Pole, Double-Throw) RF switch that has one input port and two output ports. With no control voltage, the NC (normally closed) ANT 1 port is connected to the RCVR input port.
- Page 3 Uses voltage on the feedline to switch the DXE-RLS-2 and the DXE-RBS-1FP DXE-RLS-2 switches when +12 Vdc is applied to feedline, DXE-RBS-1FP switches when −12 Vdc is applied giving port selection per table below Voltage Applied to Selected Port...
- Page 4 CC-8A or a switch closure to ground arrangement The configuration shown in Figure 2 requires a modification to one of the DXE-RLS-2 units to operate at -12 Vdc to allow the switching functions shown above. The modification consists of removing one diode and installing it backwards as shown below.

DXE-CC-8A - Control Console, 8 Position The CC-8A Control Console is a flexible, 8-position controller used to control the DX Engineering RR8 series antenna switches, the RFS-2P Receive Four Square controller or any product that uses a 12 or 24* Vdc 1-of-8 or BCD control format. The attractive metal housing is powder-coated and features an ON/OFF switch, ergonomic selector knob and eight front-panel LED's, with adjustable brightness, to indicate switch position. - Page 6 If you wish to reduce feedline radiation and improve reception, a Feedline Current Choke is recommended if your SWR is already low. Adding a DX Engineering Feedline Current Choke at the point where the feedline exits the area of the antenna will substantially reduce unwanted feedline radiation or reception without the need for improved station grounding.
- Page 7 DXE-F6 - 75 Ohm F-6 Style, Direct Bury Coaxial Cable: Full Spool or Custom Cable Assemblies DX Engineering recommends using a high quality 75 Ω “flooded” F6 type coaxial cable. Flooded style cables have the distinct advantage of automatically sealing small accidental cuts or lacerations of the jacket. Flooding also prevents shield contamination and can be direct-buried.
